I'm trying to install a module on my RaQ 4i, but for some reason when I type the following:


perl Makefile.PL
make
make install


I get this error:


Warning: You do not have permissions to install into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux at /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 61.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Are you logged in as the root user?

Admin, yes.

OK you need to type in su hit enter then enter your admin password again. You are then the root user. admin priveleges won't allow you to install files owned by root.

Aha! Thanks cgisupp! I was fooled into thinking 'admin' was really just a fancy name for 'root' on RaQs. Thanks again...
